    Note:

    This guide provides details about admin-only options for disabling and enabling pods. For details about each pod and how the UI changes for hosts and end users as a result of these settings, see Understanding pods in the Adobe Connect Getting Started guide.

    Admin options for disabling and enabling pods

    Admins have account-level control of pod display and features via settings at Admin > Compliance and control > Pods management. Hosts can control pod features that admins have not disabled. Most of the settings are self-explanatory and simply show or hide pods and features. However,  note the following:

    • Changes are effective immediately for all new sessions.
    • Some settings may disable features or remove data (such as pod history).
    • When you disable a pod:
      • All information in the pod is erased in every session that contains the pod.
      • Disabling pods can leave an empty space in meeting room layouts. Update your meeting templates and resize the pods to fill up any spaces
